"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

Dr Gallant, like Dr Bob, equivocates so much that I am sure he would claim an airborne infection "unlikely."

Granted, science pretty well precludes the existence of a hundred percent statistic. I certainly wish he and others chose language that laypersons can accurately interpret.

I'm being totally silly and all you mean girls (you know who you are) will give me a hard time. Bring it on, bitches@!

I already have HIV (duh!) so it's not like I'm worried but I was the one who got blasted with poz cum in my left eye.

I've only recently started having sex again after about 3 years. Kind of wading in the sex pool, nothing heavy duty. I was with this cute guy and we were blowing each other and jacking off and suddenly he cums and it goes directly into my left eye. When he gets up to go to the bathroom I notice he has a big red biohazard tattoo on his back. He also had a big beautiful natural (as in not juiced) man-ass, no lipo butt for this boy. Had I seen the ass before I would have raped the lad, alas.

Of course I'm not worried about getting HIV but I suppose the only unlikely issue is if he has a viral load with an integrase mutation that would render my trusty Isentress powerless to his mutant strain. All highly unlikely, I know.

I can tell you this much, if I were neg and this happened I'd be running to get me some PEP.

I can tell you this much, if I were neg and this happened I'd be running to get me some PrEP.

In the instances where this exact scenario has presented itself in "AM I INFECTED," we have been unanimous in NOT recommending PEP.

It would be an awesome waste of resources and money for a scenario that has never been documented to transmit the virus.

Don't take the "lipo butt" comment so personally, sheesh. I've lost a little ass fat myself. It happens, just not to this boy and not yet. I was being descriptive. SUE ME. BITE ME.

You're losing you ass due to age -- you're in your late 40's. I lost mine when I was 33, due to medications. Don't attempt to identify with my suffering while denigrating it at the same time, that's just plain tacky.

Do you have any IDEA how many people you insult here on a regular basis@!? Get OUT of my face. Do not even try to lay a guilt trip on me. Buh Bye.

I don't think there would risk of infection -and just as a helpful tip - Visine takes the red out - of "cum eye" (I keep a supply here at the house) - although, swallowing usually helps to avoid nasty cum eye burn.

I wonder if a put on a red curly wig and short dress and got cum shot in both eyes if I could be a candidate for the Broadway revival of Little OralOrphan Annie? Just thinking out loud.....

How about if I had a glass eye and removed it prior to having oral sex and then got cum shot into the socket where my glass eye usually was - would that put me at risk? Just thinking out loud again in between rehearsing my "sun will come out tomorrow" routine for my Annie audition - should it happen.

Thanks for beating me to the punch on that one. I view patient-report with a skeptical eye... and a one-time documentation based on it, that is not repeatable in subsequent, more reliable studies?

I tend to dismiss. Were we to use patient self-report, then I submit that we reference the people in "Just Infected" who claim to have gotten HIV despite never having an unsafe moment, always using condoms, and/or not having sex.

I actually once dated a guy with a glass eye. Then again, I once dated a guy with only one testicle. But then I've had so many tricks in my life I should expect such things, though in fairness both of them were more than one nighters, but less than 3-monthers.

I can do a Penelope-style (Kristin Wiig) one upmanship here:

1) I once tricked with a guy who had no ass hole (I didn't realize it until we were just about to fuck).

2) Another guy had a mechanism inside his cock. He had to press some sort of button and I could literally hear some cranks creaking as it got hard.
